i A washei' '26 is? arranged in the packing nut .ahoverthe packing and I the upper end of the stein which vextends beyond the packing nutis externallythreaded for engaging one endof an arm 27. I The other-end ofthe elbow is engaged by oneqendzof a pipe Q85 and a seond'selboty: '29liason'e end connected with tl'iGOflIBI ehd of the pipe;

' The opposite end" ofthe'felhow 29 is threadedinto the Bean an ofa ammonioal br tap'ering sleeve '30. and-Lthe" large end odi'theisleeveis engaged "by a nozzle,- a cupsliaped'hod'y 31. 'Ihis'cuD-sh'aped body has its upper" end ehlarged and externally threaded as shown at 32; and longitudinally extending grooves33 are provided in the threaded-portion. The body" also has radial openings 34 near the inner end "of the threaded portion and the said threaded poi' tion is adapted to engage the internally threaded portion of the sleeve 30.

The upper end of the body is provided with radial-recesses or notches 35. extending from the grooves 38 inwardly. The upper end of the nipple 11 of the casing 5 is cut away as indicated at 3 6 ,,over an extent of 90 degrees and the cylindrical body li'asa'" radial 111g 37 above the groove -1 6.,; .:f9n-QH:

casing: The casing 5 is also provided with an internal groove 38, extffiiifi-g that portion of the casing in which the port 10 is arranged to thegroove'fd 1 In operation, when the parts are the position (if-Figs, 1 and 2, the'recesses 23 are at' the nipple? and at the port 10, 'andlthe valve body closes the communication 'be tween the nipple f'and the port; It will be noted' from an inspection of'Figsa-a and 5 that the ends-of the recesses 23 are sepa1-ated from-each -"othe r bya verti cal'bator rib 39,-

which is-a n'integ'ral ortion of the'bo'dy. i

The peripheralsnrface of the bod-y 'fits' closely in the casing: 5', so that' when the reassess-23 are at the port-r 10 and the nipple 1 7; the communication -.be'tween' the portmid the nipple will "be closed. The water however; from the valve may flow-through the connecting-sleeve 6 into :1 the 'cas'i-ng- 5,' and byway of the recesses21-aiid '22 ,to the iii terior or bore of the valve body. -'I he water passes upthrou h thematerial and' 'through the' m,'=the ielbows 2? and? 29 and the'pipe 281170 the sleeve 30 and the water is dischar'ged' by Way of'the groove'sand byvray of the interior of the cup-shaped member 31. Whe1 ithe-body is turned i11such= "mannerthat the inte alribs 3-9 are-atithe'port 10 and-thenipp eWg-the water may flow directly from the faucet or iw-lvethrough the casing 5 and the port 10 tothe place of discharge. I a v y By -means of the "cupi-shape'd *member 31, the flow of water through the saidimember maybe cut us. When the said member is bummed to: cause it to'imovadow'nwarmy, the lower rounded end! will contact with the interiorof the sleveBO; closingthe communicatibmthrough the sleeve. Whenever the partsjare in the position of Figs; 1- and 2,

the-water flowin .-'rtlirough:the valve body will be thorough yl'filter'ed, and-will pass out through the me'mbe'r 231, whichis infect a distributing nozzle, 5 and will be thrown up.- ward so that the. user can drink without touching the lips to any part of the fountain.

.The waitenmay be'shnt ofi whenever desired, bv turning down the distributing nozzle, or by turning the valvelwith respect-to the casing 5. When the valve body is turned to bring the recess 22 out of register with the nipple 7 5 the water can no Ran r flow into the valve body, and if the'va ve body is not turned too far the port 10 will also be shut 05 from thenipple 7.

' The valve body may move a quarter turn, this extent of movement being permittedby the shou lderseO. formed at the ends-of the the water is shut off from both the tonntain 1; A water fountain for attachment to a delivery valve, and comprising acasing" oi approximately eylindrical'l form having op- PQSltBlZYi arrangedkinletand outlet ports, means at the; inlet port-. gforpermitting the casing to .be: connected ito 'the valve,' 3,; cylindrieal' valve body fitting the casing and r0- tatable" therein, and chambered longitudinally and having a hollow stem extending above theicasing, a tubular-handle connected with the stem, and having a; delivery 7 nozzle at its outer end, the valve body being adapted to: contain filtering material, a'screeni "at each end o-fzthe body, said body having at its lower; end a radial recess and having a len gitudinahgroove leading upward from the means at-the inlet port for permitting-the easin atofbe connected to the mm; a cylindrica Evalve 'bodyi fitting the-casing and rotatable athereiny and chambered longitudinallv having a hollow stem extending above the casing, a-tubular handle connected v with. the; stem, and. having a delivery nozzle at its outer end' -thewvaIVe 'bodybein'gadapted' to cont-aim filtering material, saidbody having at its lower end'anradiat and having a .longitrid-inalgrobw e leading -upward-- from thejrecessz-fior {placingthe. inte rior of the-bodyin communication with the inlet port of theucasingswhen in register therewith, said body having oppositely arranged ;=cimnmferential recesses for placing the inletand the: outlet ports in'communicationwhen-the the inlet port.

4. A Water fountain for attachment to a delivery valve, and comprising a valve casing having an inlet port, a valve body mounted to rotate in the casing and having a chamber for containing filtering material said body having ports oppositely arranged and leading from the chamber, one of the ports being adapted to register with the inlet port of the casing when the valve body is turned to a predetermined position, and a delivery pipe connected with the valve for turning the valve, said pipe communicating with the other port of the valve.

5. A device of the character specified, comprising a valve casing having inlet and outlet ports, a valve body between the ports, said body being chambered and adapted to contain a filtering material and having inlet and outlet ports for the chamber, a delivery pipe connected with the body and communicating with the chamber by way of the outlet port, and rigidly connected with the body to permit the body to be turned by the pipe to bring the inlet port of the body in register with the inlet port of the casing, the body having means for placing the ports of the casing in communication when the said body is turned in the opposite direction.
